SweetJimmy,

When I got DSL, they told me I would have to pay for a business package for 140.00 a month just to be able to run DSL on more than one computer.

When the lady came to install it she noticed that I already had a lynksys 5 port hub. She said to plug the DSL modem into port #1 and connect the computers to the hub. How nice of her to tell me this secret.

Basically from the wall to the hub, and from the hub to the other computers.

It works super fast. I have 2 computers at home setup this way, and 3 computers at work set up this way.

Go to any computer store and just buy a hub and some cables. Most newer computers have a network card built in, so all you need is the hub and cables.

Oh, before I forget, all the computers on this now half-ass network, need to sign on to the internet under the same user name and password.

I've never noticed even a slight decrease in connection speed, not even while uploading entire galleries.

I never paid more than $40.00 for the hub. And it takes exactly 3 minutes 15 seconds to set up.
